Pizy 18,944 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 So yeah, I was sadly wrong about feeling good this week in regards to incomings. Looks like we legitimately do need to prepare ourselves for the possibility that we won’t sign a single player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This window goes to the end of August unlike prior ones that finished on the first day of the season. This has also been a EURO/COPA year and lets not forget Covid which means most players would've wanted a real break for their three-four weeks off. Additionally, the only real deals that have been done are: Hakimi - Inter needed to sell early owing to finances Sancho - A deal that essentially took a year +. I suspect this window will be a trickle then a deluge. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashishi 148 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Metro is reporting that Arse will pay Tammy's wages and they put Laca up for sale for 15m to fund it. This indicates that we will sign a striker or someone in that mould, even if it is just cover for Havertz/Werner (basically the squad role that Tammy was holding up). Anyone want to discuss availible CF3's in case Haaland doesn't pan out? Any chance we sign him and loan back in Jan? Other positions we may supplement are CM4 , CB, RWB and GK3. We need a Ramires type player that could cover 3 of those positions. Rice can cover 2 but I really don't like spending 60m on him and he is not as versatile. There is also the chance we sign no-one, in which case: GK3 Bergstrom CB Sarr RWB Sterling CM Baka/RLC CF Broja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Sources: Chelsea submitting £130m Haaland bid after Abramovich vow Chelsea are submitting a £130million bid for Erling Haaland after the green light from Roman Abramovich, Football Insider can exclusively reveal. The Champions League holders have discussed multiple player-plus-cash options with Borussia Dortmund as they continue plans to lure the 21-year-old. A Chelsea source has told Football Insider that the club have now lined up a straight cash offer of £130m for Haaland. That is believed to be the highest Abramovich is willing to go for what would be a British-record deal. The mega-rich owner has vowed to bankroll a mega-money centre-forward move as he looks to build on last season’s Champions League triumph. The club are working on deals for Haaland, Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku. Subscribe to Football Insider TV now Subscribe They hope to get at least one over the finish line. This site revealed on 17th July that Dortmund have knocked back the chance to take Timo Werner in exchange as part of a Haaland deal. However, Chelsea are set to return with a cash-only deal in a bid to tempt Dortmund into selling. Haaland, who turned 21 on Wednesday (July 21st), was in electric form for the German outfit last season. He netted 41 goals in 41 games across all competitions, including 10 in eight Champions League appearances. Chelsea’s desire for a prolific goalscorer comes just a year after they signed Werner for a reported £45million last summer. He scored 12 times in 52 appearances, although only six of his goals came in the Premier League. Football Insider revealed in June Abramovich is spearheading a potential move to re-sign Inter Milan hitman Lukaku. The Belgium international only played 15 times and failed to score during his first spell at Stamford Bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 For me the biggest and most important signing has already been made and that's Tuchel. Having one of the world's top coaches working with and developing this squad, particularly the younger element, can only be a positive. As long as the squad don't completely drop off a cliff, or he falls out with the board, I honestly think he will be given time and opportunity to put a stamp on this team which like Jose's first stint could leave his finger prints on the squad beyond his tenure. If we don't make any big signings I think we'll still be more competitive than last season regardless. Whether we have enough to kick on and mount a genuine title challenge will depend on the attack improving. There's a very real possibility that we see significant improvements in Werner and Havertz numbers next season - they have produced them before. Pulisic scored 9 in the league his first season too compared to 4 last. If a couple of these happen we'll have a great chance as I don't see us conceding many. It should be noted that even signing Haaland is no guarantee. Its probably as close as you can hope but let's be real, our track record of spending big money on strikers isn't the best. Even going back before Roman I can remember spending at the time big money in the 90's on the likes of Sutton, Casiraghi, Furlong and Fleck. I don't know the numbers off the top of my head but there's probably no more than 20 goals there for about £20m of money spent.
